German Violin, Hornsteiner School, c. 1880 – 3/4 Size
This 3/4-size violin, crafted around 1880, is attributed to the Hornsteiner school of Mittenwald—an important tradition within 19th-century German violin making. Instruments from this school are admired for their refined craftsmanship and musical warmth, even in fractional sizes.
This example features a subtly flamed maple back, a well-carved spruce top, and a deep brown varnish layered over a luminous golden ground, giving it both visual depth and historic character. Tonally, it offers a clear, warm sound with excellent projection and responsiveness—an ideal choice for a young player seeking a violin with true vintage charm and performance.
A rare and beautifully preserved 19th-century German violin, offering both tonal quality and historical presence in a hard-to-find fractional size.
